Watch as this skateboarder deftly turns what could have been a painful wipeout into an adorable moment, picking up a little boy who'd skated in front of him while still moving on his board. In the video, Marc-André Séguin, 26, can be seen skating across the park when a little boy skates into his path.Luckily for both parties, Séguin is a professional snowboarder.Instead of running the small boy over, Séguin scoops him up, carries him to safety then places him back on his board. "It's a little boy I've seen at the skatepark a few times," the Montreal-based snowboarder said."It honestly felt pretty normal. "I think all of my skating friends have the same reflexes. "I never even talked to the kid after."My friends and I just laughed about it."We have this natural impulse to look around for the younger kids when we're skating."In Montreal, we don't kick kids off their skateboards. "Skateboarding is a really good community."We look out for the younger kids."It actually happened last summer, the only reason I posted it is because my girlfriend wanted me to."I didn't really think anything of it."
